Any provider can charge whatever they want ... and I get to book whoever I want. I don't think that was the OP point. Unless I got it wrong ... again, I think the point was more in line with, "You have a young lady, new to the hobby, without the benefit of a reputation for service and reliability. What makes Norma Newperson think her rate should be he same as Sadie Steadie, who has a history of excellent reviews and a reputation for reliability and drama free visits? Saying "I think a provider should charge whatever she wants" ... "Good for you, baby" misses my understanding of the point.You got it dodger...Thank you sir
I think that's fair to consider and discuss this. I think many new, (especially) young providers may think, "She's charging X ... and I'm younger and hotter ... I should charge X, too. Maybe X+! After all ... it's the same product." If that's it .. fine. But I think it's a fair discussion ... how did you arrive at that figure? That's not really the same thing as saying, "who do they think they are to charge X or X+!"
I tend to look at a provider's 'history' and reviews. The providers who have been around a bit ... and it doesn't have to be an age thing .. tend to know how to TCB. They are organized, reliable, and they appreciate the intangibles. Alana Nicole is a good example of a young woman that I would consider a mature provider.
Running off to the WW to see the latest hottie ... may tend to incur a higher flake quotient ... sometimes you get bit by the flake quotient. So, I'm of a mind that a provider coming into the hobby should expect to develop a reputation which justifies the fee. Doesn't have to be that way, just sayin'.
I agree ... a provider (or lawyer or shrink or someone selling a home) can charge whatever they want. And the power will move to the consumer. No argument ... but not really the point. The point is, to me, is how did we arrive at this price for your time. What's the basis .. the justification .. the rationale for the fee? And it's certainly fair to say, "none of your business" .. or .. "who cares".. cuz I thinking ... maybe I don't. I mean .. I think it's odd to see those prices, too. I just don't really care. I just don't have enough to do with my time.
